Migrating bookmarks between VSCode instances #592
-
|
Hello, I typically use two different laptops. Each laptop have repositories in the same absolute path. Is it possible to sync bookmarks between VSCode instances? I imagine this can be done even with the absolute paths do not match? As long as the relative root dir name is the same? |

Hi @ldelossa , There is no way to sync bookmarks between different machines, as the native Settings Sync feature does not support syncing extension’s data. But, as an alternative, you could take a look at the Hope this helps |

No, it won’t be possible. The extension uses a hard coded location, the If you think your dotfiles repository would be an alternative, I understand you would expect to have all your bookmarks stored on an unique location. Because the extension uses a per session approach, the bookmarks are stored individually, for every folder. But, there is a feature request asking for global bookmarks (#287). This could be a step to some external location, like dotfiles. |

Hmm, in the least, can i just copy and paste some files from both computer? I work in a lot of public repos which storing the bm files in the .vscode file and pushing it to git is not an option. |

Other than If/when the global bookmarks is available, it could be expanded to allow an external storage. |

Hi @ldelossa ,
There is no way to sync bookmarks between different machines, as the native Settings Sync feature does not support syncing extension’s data.
But, as an alternative, you could take a look at the
bookmarks.saveBookmarksInProjectsetting (https://github.com/alefragnani/vscode-bookmarks#available-settings), which will make the bookmarks to be stored within the project/workspace you have opened. If the repositories you are referring to are Git repos, for instance, you just have to add the.vscode/bookmarks.jsonfile to the repopush/pullto update the other machines.Hope this helps
